  • Publication number: 20120264311
    Abstract: The present invention provides a surface treatment method for germanium based device. Through performing surface pretreatment to the germanium based device by using an aqueous solution of ammonium fluoride as a passivant, the interface state may be reduced, the formation of natural oxidation layer at the germanium surface may be inhibited, the regeneration of natural oxidation layer and the out-diffusion of the germanium based substrate material can be effectively inhibited, and the thermal stability of the metal germanide may also be increased significantly, so that the interface quality of the germanium based device is improved easily and effectively, which are advantageous to improve the performance of the germanium based transistor.

  • Patent number: 8277688
    Abstract: This invention relates to galvanic aluminum alloy powder-pigments coated with a semi-conducting corrosion inhibiting oxide and the process for preparing said coated powder-pigments in combination with film-forming binders for coating metal substrates to inhibit corrosion. The coated aluminum alloy powder-pigments are electrically active and prevent corrosion of metals which are more cathodic (electropositive) than the aluminum alloy pigments.

  • Patent number: 8262938
    Abstract: Chromate-free corrosion-inhibiting coating compositions comprising film-forming binders and galvanic aluminum alloy powders prepared in an oxygen (oxidizing), nitrogen (inert) or nitrogen-hydrogen (reducing) atmosphere having particle sizes ranging up to 100 microns. The aluminum alloy powders having the formula: aluminum-zinc-X (AlZnX) wherein X is an element selected from the group consisting of indium, gallium, tin and bismuth. Improvement in corrosion protection is obtained by the addition of chemical inhibitors such as an azole or talcite clay to the coating which further inhibits the self-corrosion of the aluminum alloy and extends the corrosion protection of the metal substrate being protected.
